Been using 8 months. Formula Z is improved version of the Crosshair V. It has an improved and streamlined UEFI BIOS and a brand new AI suite. It is also compatible with all intel XMP 1.2/1.3 certified RAM. Other new additions include Intel Gigabit lan, Extreme engine Digi+II, T-topology memory design and Games first II. I bought this to use with my FX-8150 and in preparation for the upcoming FX-8350. Installation was a breeze, as it worked like a dream with my Kingston Predator 2400MHz RAM (and yes, my RAM was clocked at the full 2400MHz). It works great with my FX-8350. I am very happy with this mobo, it is much better than the original. It is without question, the best AM3+ 990FX mobo on the market. If you can afford it, I highly recommend you buy it. It has no equal. Only downside is cost me £200 in September 2012.

I bought this due to match my AMD 8350FX. The board very useful if has a n option to safely O/c the CPU so the beginner shouldn't be able to fry the CPU. I get a safe 4.2Ghz O/C just by clicking Extreme in the AI Suite II. Then let it work out the best stable O/C. I've had both Intel & AMD and this setup is the best I've had. Combine your build with a big case such as a (Coolermaster HAF X) then you'll have many yrs of gaming etc. Get a good CPU cooler and good cooling in your case.. and you'll be happy with this motherboard. No need to go Intel for almost £60 extra.. for the Intel ROG equivalent. Buy with confidence also ASus is generally reliable. In conclusion if you're a casual gamer who wants to do mild overclocking or the diehard overclocker this motherboard servers both needs well..

I forgot to mention it has a very useful feature called GameFirst II, it allows the gamer to set up games to have priority over typical internet use.. so online gaming means you get no lag or considerably less lag. I play Age of Conan which is reknowned for lagging, so when I use the GameFirst II options the lag has all but gone resulting in a nice online gaming experience. The LAN port is very good too.. buy this motherboard you won't be sorry.. but you'll be laughing at people who've got the Maximus V Formula (the Intel varient) if you put in 8350FX CPU in this beauty of a motherboard. As the 8350FX is better in most cases than the i5 Ivybridge.
